I guest that's true. With his 4 points, they would have won today.

As for Kentucky’s other injured standout, Keion Brooks Jr., he was wearing street clothes during warmups and appears to be out for this afternoon’s matchup. UK head coach John Calipari previously said the sophomore forward is dealing with a tricky calf injury, with Brooks’ timeline for return shifting on numerous occasions since early October when the injury first occurred. Injured standout? Averaged 4 and 3 last season.

He always cheers for his Paisans

When you have to go to Keion, who was barely a role player last year and hasn't played this year, to provide your team leadership, you have a problem. Following Saturday's loss, Keion Brooks spoke to the media even though he didn't play in the game because of injury. Brooks said his teammates weren't "up to" speaking to reporters after the historic loss. He also said he had concerns about his team's "swagger" and "confidence" after the loss. https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/30573544/kentucky-wildcats-coach-john-calipari-asks-freshman-camron-fletcher-step-away-program

Maybe, but they still have a great name

UNC & KY combined 8-33 from 3. Neither over 25%

Shooting 39% and being out rebounded by 4

But it looks really cool. Especially when two players don’t know you switched

IL & MO are a combined 6-27 from three, each at 22%

IL down 49-41 at half to MO

Would that be the same Miami that beat Purdue after trailing by 20?

ND 48 KY 26 at half Cal should have followed Coach K’s bold leadership and quit the non-con

ND leading KY 27 to 9 at 12 minute timeout.

FL shooting 40% with 11 TOs

Looked at Arkansas' stats through five games. Don't see where Justin Smith gained anything from the transfer. ARK shoots a lot of threes (45% of their attempts). Yet, JS is ninth on their roster in 3pt attempts and is 2-7 on the year. He's 12-21 on FTs. He's averaging 12 ppg and 5.6 rebounds per game. Also averages 1.6 TOs/game. Very similar to his IU stats. They have two forwards, who've played fewer minutes, who've attempted 22 and 20 threes, respectively.

The NCAAM tournament bubble will be at Cameron Indoor

COVID has exposed the OAD factories. The experienced teams are ahead

Miami was 1-17 from 3 and shot 58% FTs and beat Purdue. PU was a sizzling 4-25 from 3.

PU lead cut to 1 with under 2 minutes

Cal in a couple weeks

Yeah, with all of the travel required for CBB, I fear this will be very difficult to manage

I'm about 20 years older than you, so here's me talking to my 40 year old self, based on experience. At age 40 put all of your tax-deferred retirement accounts (401k, 403b, IRAs) in an indexed target date fund (hopefully your employer offers those at a very low fee). Look at the balance once a year and leave it alone. Max out your annual contributions or put in as much as you can and increase it 1% annually until you hit the max. Keep three years of living expenses in cash or near cash investments. Open a taxable brokerage account (Vanguard, Fidelity Schwab). Allocate to stocks based on 110 minus your age (110-40 = 70) or 100 minus your age if more conservative. Put most in high dividend and dividend growth ETFs (with low fees, Vanguard, Fidelity, Schwab) and have the dividends automatically reinvest in the ETFs. Put about 1/4 to 1/3 of the stock allocation into individual blue chip dividend paying stocks. Limit to the number you can follow (20 is probably a good number). Invest in companies that have paid dividends for a very long time and have a history of increases. Try to avoid highly cyclical companies that cut dividends in a recession. Favor health care and consumer staples. You can mix in a few other well managed dividend payers (JP Morgan, Apple, etc.). Sometimes these companies just get caught in a sell off and you can buy them when their dividend yield is relatively high. By doing so, your total dividend return will be higher than just buying the basket ETFs. Put 5-10% in high growth ETFs such as biotech and tech. If you want to play, you can set aside up to 5% to invest in individual potential high flyers but be prepared to lose it all. Put the rest in bond ETFs, including muni bond ETFs if you are in a higher tax bracket. The goal is to build a sustainable income stream that will support you in retirement without having to sell and take capital gains. I have no direct experience with robinhood, but their platform has crashed on high volume days. Not good. https://www.fastcompany.com/90545646/robinhood-crashed-again-just-as-demand-for-newly-split-apple-and-tesla-stock-was-heating-up Good Luck.
